πŸ’”Heavy footage that vividly demonstrates how war is changing. Now the intensity of combat actions can be determined not so much by destroyed buildings, but by the amount of optical fibre.

Pilots of the reconnaissance company of the 63rd Brigade showed what Lyman looks like now. The city is holding on, but is gradually being covered by this "cobweb". Every day hundreds of enemy and our "birds" fly here – and each one leaves its markπŸ₯Ί

I'm interested to see what kind of cleanup can eventually be done. Cleaning up these fiber "cobwebs" can't be easy.

The Ukrainians can make the Russians eat the cotton candy when the wars over.
